Article 326 of the Constitution guarantees universal adult suffrage, stating that every citizen not less than 18 years of age and not otherwise disqualified, is entitled to be registered as a voter.

The Representation of the People Act, 1950, specifically details the preparation and revision of electoral rolls.

The ECI is mandated to prepare and periodically revise electoral rolls to ensure their accuracy and completeness.

Revision can be 'intensive' (door-to-door verification) or 'summary' (based on claims and objections invited from the public). The current news refers to a 'Special Intensive Revision'.

The motto 'No eligible voter should be left out, No ineligible voter should be added' underscores the ECI's commitment to inclusive and accurate rolls.

Citizens can apply for inclusion (Form 6), deletion (Form 7), correction, or transposition of names (Form 8) in the electoral rolls.

The process involves Booth Level Officers (BLOs) who are local government officials responsible for ground-level verification and assistance to voters.

Multiple qualifying dates (Jan 1, April 1, July 1, Oct 1) have been introduced to allow young citizens to register as soon as they turn 18.

Digital platforms like the ECI website (voters.eci.gov.in) and ECINet mobile app facilitate online applications and status checks.
